Kal'tsit: Rhodes Island Is a Proper Medical Organization / Chapter 37: Hai Mo: Reviewing a Popular World Bubble from the Internet

"That's good... By the way, now that things are basically fine outside, I'll ask you something."

Raven's expression became somewhat complicated, a mix of schadenfreude and gossip. "To be precise, Cocolia wanted me to ask her how long it would be before she could leave."

"Her... it will probably be a long time before she recovers."

"Why? Wasn't it said that things have calmed down outside now?"

"I asked curiously, "the Raven said.

"Yes, indeed. Theoretically speaking, although Anti-Entropy has returned to Schicksal and regained the name of the North American Branch, it is indeed lacking in administrative talent to help manage the organization."

"But..." Flame Willow emphasized, "Not letting her out is actually Bronya's idea."

"Huh? A loving mother and filial daughter?"

"No, no, no, in a way this is protecting her."

Flame Willow shook her head.

"On the one hand, even though Anti-Entropy has now completed its reorganization, the problems left by the previous executor system still exist, and Cocolia offended far too many people during her time in power."

"If we really let her go back to Anti-Entropy, she'll probably be furious within days."

"Moreover, on the other hand... the North American Branch is actually cultivating new management talent."

"Who, is it Bronya?"

"No, you probably haven't heard of this person. She's an artificial intelligence."

Flame Willow opened the terminal, took out a picture, and handed it to Raven.

"Aida, the AI of Anti-Entropy, was previously in charge of the repair work on Arahanto. She was later transferred to the Salt Lake Base. After Arahanto was easily repaired by Bronya using the Authority of Reason, this AI was freed up."

"Then... she chose to study abroad."

"Studying abroad?" Raven's curiosity was truly piqued. "Where is she going to study abroad? Isn't she an artificial intelligence?"

"Yes, so AI helps AI, she went to exchange experiences with Theresia and Prometheus XVII."

Flame Willow shrugged. "They've formed a non-human gathering and they still communicate with each other online every day. By the way, it seems that this was suggested by Rabbit, and Number Seventeen joined 'voluntarily'."

"I heard they originally wanted to bring Void Archive and Gray Serpent into the picture, but it seems they can't contact Void Archive now, and Gray Serpent has its own Gray Serpent Network, so they had to give up."

"Anyway, after studying for a while, she's now back at the North American base to put her learning into practice, and the results... I heard are pretty good?"

"So, Cocolia is completely out of the running, right?" Raven nodded. "Then I'll go back and tell her, so she can give up on this idea and prepare to retire at home."

"Yeah, that's about right. Maybe once Bronya and the others have completely cleaned up Anti-Entropy, they'll send Cocolia back to her orphanage."

"After all, this guy's talent for civil war is a bit of a mystery, and he might cause trouble again if we're not careful."

"Who would dare to cause trouble now?" Raven chuckled. "Putting everything else aside, the saying 'Heaven is watching' has become a reality."

"Uh..." Flame Willow's expression turned somewhat strange. "Hard to say."

"As far as I know, there are some rumors that someone has recently spotted traces of the Gray Serpent in Changkong City."

"Although Gray Serpent 1904 said that no anomalies were found in the Gray Serpent network, I feel that this news is not entirely unfounded."

"It's okay. Even if Gray Serpent and his gang continue to cause trouble, it won't have anything to do with me anymore."

The Raven simply leaned back, resting its head on the Flame Willow's chest, and comfortably closed its eyes.

"Now I'm just waiting for my release from prison so I can go to that villa island and have a proper vacation—"

"Oh, but speaking of which, Anna and I have been working on a problem these past few days."

"Huh? What's the problem?"

Thinking of the topic she and Anna had joked about, Flame Willow suppressed her laughter and pretended to be serious.

"Raven, do you think we should make Little Kong sever her mother-daughter relationship with you first?"

"Wait, wait, wait?"

The Raven sat up abruptly. "What's that?"

"After all, Anna said that joining Schicksal requires a background check, and the requirement seems to be that immediate family members have no criminal record?"

Flame Willow patted the Raven, feigning sorrow.

"Oh, you crow, how did you end up in there?"

Suddenly, the mournful cries of Raven and the sinister laughter of someone who had succeeded in their scheme echoed through the room.

As for how Raven punished that boastful guy so severely after Raven release from prison that he begged for mercy... that's another story.

Chapter 36 Kal'tsit: Rhodes Island is a legitimate medical organization

"I never imagined I'd see this thing again in my lifetime..."

Standing on the bridge of Rhodes Island, Xia Ling and Kal'tsit stood side by side, enjoying the sunrise together.

"I think this was an inevitable outcome; it just so happens that we used the name Rhodes Island."

Kal'tsit said calmly, "After all, after the Stigmata Project, almost everyone who emerged from the dream inevitably encountered some problems, and such situations require professional psychological counseling."

"Although doctors can receive short-term training for relatively fixed, non-pathological cases, the medical resources Schicksal are limited. This is where it is necessary for mobile medical organizations like ours to address the public opinion issues."

"As the saying goes, the real role of the Victoria army is not to protect the citizens, but to make the citizens feel that they are protected. The reason why Schicksal supports us in developing such a high-profile mobile hospital ship is for similar reasons."

Xia Ling thought for a moment, "So, the real purpose of the Rhodes Island is actually unrelated to medicine. Would you say this is a kind of... classic rerun?"

"I don't think so. If we really look into it, Rhodes Island in the original game could already be considered a ****."

Kal'tsit, as always, was wearing her medical coat and remained expressionless.

"Our Rhodes Island is a real medical organization. Although our motives are impure, our work does involve medical activities."

"Uh... are you sure?" Xia Ling realized for the first time that being able to say difficult things with a blank expression was actually a talent. She looked back at the advanced weapon systems and drone hangar on Rhodes Island, and then thought about the crew members left on the ship, her expression strange.

"Of course I'm sure."

Kal'tsit nodded.

"Then, what's the story behind the rumor that wherever Rhodes Island flies, magical girls will appear?"

"Sirin wanted to continue atoning for her past actions, so she and Bella transformed into magical girls to maintain order. They were just traveling around the world with Rhodes Island; it was a personal matter, please do not associate it with the organization."

Kal'tsit remained unmoved.

"Besides, healing magic is also a part of medicine. Don't worry about whether it's scientific or not, as long as it works."

"Then may I ask our Dr. Kal'tsit, there are rumors on this ship that a mysterious shadowy monster is sometimes seen moving around in the galley at night. What is the story behind this?"

"Mon3Tr needs to be given some fresh air, otherwise it will suffocate."

"Then, may I ask about the urban legend that elves live in the water taps on the Rhodes Island...?"

"Okay, now I know how Mulsus came back every time he exceeded the curfew." Kal'tsit glanced at the bridge and was already mentally locating the troublemaking Water Spirit.

"You really are meticulous..."

"So... you came to me just to tell me what rumors have been published in the urban legends section recently?"

Kal'tsit looked puzzled, and the long tufts on her cat ears swayed slightly as she asked the question.

"No, it's just that I recently suddenly thought of a plan that I had previously shelved."

Xia Ling said seriously, "Tell me, if I use the excuse of using the cores of Thousand-Man Herrscher to find potential candidates, and then sneak a bunch of clones into the candidate list, and then stuff them all into your Rhodes Island... wouldn't that allow me to recreate a real Rhodes Island?"

"Xia Ling..."

Kal'tsit's expression was one of utter helplessness.

"We are a medical organization..."

"A medical organization with magical girls, giant monsters, mysterious Water Spirit, and a bunch of Valkyrie?"

"Those Valkyrie came to help because I healed them during the Finality War!" Kal'tsit felt utterly speechless. "You have to believe me, my original intention was really to establish a medical organization!"

"Alright, alright, let's put this plan on hold for now." Xia Ling shrugged. "Anyway, I'm not completely free yet. Although I've relaxed a lot, Theresa seems to be going on another business trip soon, and I'll have to take care of Schicksal for her for a while."

"Theresa, on a business trip?" Kal'tsit asked doubtfully, "Are these two words that can be put together?"

"Generally speaking, she wouldn't, but this is the opening ceremony of the new St. Freya, and as the principal and mascot, she has to go no matter what."

Xia Ling sighed, "Speaking of which, at least your Rhodes Island can be considered a legitimate medical organization, but St. Freya Academy..."

"It's already turned into the Far East's Demon Cave, the Herrscher Academy?"

Kal'tsit replied without any surprise.

"Wrong, now we need to add one more." Xia Ling held up a finger. "It's still the Hall of Heroes."

"Not to mention Kallen and Yae Sakura, who have nothing better to do than teach combat skills, and Rin, who is in charge of information technology courses, if you can successfully complete any ending of the Integrated Strategies System during your studies, you can also apply for a chance to challenge Flame-Chasers."

"After the stories of these Herrschers were included in the Schicksal Library, many people longed to meet Flame-Chasers."

"Therefore, in addition to real teachers, these 'past illusions' are now also an important part of the teaching force."

"Oh no, this really is Hall of Heroes." Kal'tsit was also a little speechless. She didn't expect that there could be such an abstract organization outside of her Rhodes Island.

"Not only that, I also added a lot of historical plot points to their 'meat pigeon', such as... the plot point of taking a hot spring bath with Otto, and the grand debut of the leaders of the world's three major organizations."

"?"

Kal'tsit looked at Xia Ling with a strange gaze.

"Soaking in hot springs with Otto is one thing, after all, he's a top-tier idol among Valkyrie... But for your second point, why didn't Welt come after you to fight him?"

"Because it's a very well-hidden option, only a few people have encountered it so far, and others simply don't believe such a thing exists."

"Now I suddenly understand why Theresa often 'punishes' you in various places. You brought this on yourself!"

Kal'tsit rubbed her head, feeling a bit of a headache.

"Hey, what do you mean by 'often'? Besides, most of the time I'm the one who's playing Theresa for a fool!"

"You can only be stubborn at times like this. I don't know who it is that keeps saying in the channel that they messed up again. I can't take it anymore."

"This is Alternate History! It's slander!"

"Even if you delete the chat history in the channel, it won't work. We've already taken screenshots."

"Delete it right now!"

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Highmore: Identifying Popular Online World Bubble

"Wendy, stop moving around... don't touch anything..."

Deep within the Sea of Quantum, surrounded by numerous Sea Creatures, two charming young girls are embracing intimately.

Of course, from a distance, this would certainly be a harmonious and beautiful scene, but if one could break through the numerous defenses of the Sea Creatures and get closer...

You can then see that the citrus scent between the two is almost overflowing.

"Wait, wait, Wendy, I think I've found something..."

With her face flushed and her voice slightly breathless, Highmore quickly grabbed Wendy's hand, who was trying to continue her mischief, and stared with slightly dazed eyes in a certain direction in the distance.

"What's wrong, Highmore?"

Wendy obediently stopped what she was doing, stuck out her pink little tongue to lick the water droplets on her fingertips, and looked at Highmore's serious profile with a curious expression.

"That World Bubble... something's not right..."

Highmore placed his hand on Wendy's hand, and large chunks of "sensory information" were transmitted into Wendy's mind through the Sea Creatures Network.

Now, the girl's expression, which had previously held a hint of lingering enjoyment, also froze.

"How can such World Bubble exist...?"

While the main storyline was unfolding, the two in the Sea of Quantum were also exploring Sea of Quantum in sync.

Although the vastness of the sea is far beyond what they could explore in two or three years, they at least had a clear understanding of the World Bubble surrounding the Earth. This is why the Highmore could easily pinpoint everyone's location in the final chapter.

But... the information sent by Sea Creatures, who was scouting ahead this time, left them somewhat puzzled.

"Putting aside the strange fusion state of this World Bubble, judging from the information Sea Creatures read, the lifespan of this World Bubble is also very questionable."

Highmore's expression was somewhat solemn. "Leaving aside those bizarre world rules, a normal World Bubble needs Aether Anchor to maintain its stability, but in this World Bubble..."

"Even without Aether Anchor, this World Bubble's lifespan far exceeds that of other World Bubble," Wendy added. "And why is the outer wall of this World Bubble so fragile?"
